Is Automated Trucking and Tethering a Key Solution to Emissions Reduction?

The unprecedented growth of e-commerce has increased America’s dependence on long-haul trucking.

Electronic tethering and autonomous trucking enable shippers to transport cargo faster and more efficiently than is possible with conventional trucks. Learn more in this webinar.

While electrification of passenger vehicles is occurring at a rate almost unimaginable a decade ago, essentially all HDVs still require diesel fuel, which poses a challenge: how can firms change the trajectory of growing emissions associated with transporting goods, without an alternative to HDVs?

Alternative fuels offer a low-carbon alternative to petroleum fuels, but their market share remains small. As a result, drastic efficiency gains in the trucking sector are essential to meet emissions reduction goals. Electronic tethering and autonomous truck operation, enabled by recent innovations, enable shippers to transport cargo faster and more efficiently than is possible with conventional trucks, which is anticipated to save costs while also reducing emissions.

This webinar discusses recent technology developments in automated trucking, and features transportation sustainability expert expert Burak Sen, Locomation CEO Dr. Çetin Meriçli, Locomation VP of Policy and Strategy Finch Fulton, and Boundless Director of Research Bret Strogen.
